DANC – Misstep

Two days since I broke the cipher.

I should have traveled immediately to Ridling Thorpe Manor, or better yet, sent messages demanding Hilton Cubit come up to town with his wife. They would have been safe in London while I waited for word.

I waited for complete data, to know all the facts.

Doing so cost my client his life.

I have never loved, I told Watson, but I have been loved. Only a man who loved me could have found the strength to take hold of me and rescue us from my misguided experiment. Yet what could I do subsequently but retreat into a half-humorous, half-cynical attitude? Our love is too deep for any words; actions alone must suffice.

Watson's deductive inability has survived the years intact. He had merely to glance at the obituaries column in the Times to see why an account of the Tregennis case could now be published. Sterndale's hunting party had suffered a fatal encounter with a rogue elephant. The slaughterer of others had himself met a violent death; thus the pattern repeats itself.

The message was important; that much I understood.  The stable boy was leaning forward urging me to go as fast as I could.  We stopped at Elrige’s Farm only long enough to leave the message and then we were heading home again. No sooner were we back than we were off again to the town, for there were plans afoot.
